I am a dedicated Podcast Producer with twenty-seven years of professional experience in the telecommunications industry, most recently as a Product Manager leading a major IoT project. Over the past five years, I have pursued my passion for audio storytelling by creating and producing my own podcast, Happy Hour Harmonica, which now has over 140 episodes released and continues to grow (harmonicahappyhour.com). Through this project, I have developed a complete, hands-on understanding of the podcast production process — from concept development, guest sourcing, and research, to interviewing, editing, publishing, website creation and management, and social media promotion. I built a soundproof home studio and invested in professional recording equipment, enabling high-quality production standards. I stay actively informed about trends and technologies in podcasting and am an avid listener across multiple genres. I am now expanding my portfolio to include producing a podcast for a museum and am seeking to focus my career fully on podcast production and digital media. My previous roles includes as a trainee journalist for a local newspaper. Methodical, calm, and detail-driven, I take pride in delivering projects on time, to a high standard, and with precision.
